[Verse 1]
Never been a lover
Never been a fighter though
Heard that on the radio
Killing all my good cells
Letting all my worries drown
Letting all my people down

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm not with you, I'm against you
New school, I'll offend you now
Can never make a sound
As I dig six feet underneath, my heart beats
And I don't recognize one face in the crowd

[Chorus]
So I blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone
Blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'll deflect it all

[Verse 2]
I remember back then
Going to a punk rock show
Day dreaming I would have my own
Wanted to be greater
Wanted to be glorious
Ended up a bitter lush
[Chorus]
And I blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone
Blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'll deflect it all

[Bridge]
Ain't it the feeling that you know that you can't replace?
Ain't it the buzz of oncoming disaster?
Ain't it the woman that you're never allowed to chase?
How can you tell me you love me?
When all I see is number one
Number two, three, four, five, six; they're bound to run
When happiness is a loaded gun
And I wave it in their faces 'til there ain't anyone

[Chorus]
Blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone
Blame it on rock and roll
And I blame it on my guitar
I'll deflect it all
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Blame it on rock and roll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I blame it on my guitar (Ooh)
I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone
Blame it on rock and roll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I blame it on my guitar (Ooh)
I'll deflect it all (Woah)
